seajae Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 we had the same problem at Kanom beach last year, was all over the sand and our feet were covered in it when we walked away, was all over the tidal section so we realized that someone had spilled or deliberately dumped a lot of oil at sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McTavish Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Likely washing out from shipwrecks in the Indian Ocean/Andaman sea over last few years. Severe weather and Andaman currents deliver it to Phuket beaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be the Thais, doesn't it. I used to go to Malta every year in the 90s and exactly the same there, particularly when windy the oil can travel a long way. What's that, no wind in Phuket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave s Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 A group called Sustainable Mai Khao was checking one of the northwestern beaches in the national park Friday afternoon and found first a long oil slick, and then "sticky tar balls". So far reported in local English news at 6 beaches, as far south as Patong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzzzz Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) Officials from the Andaman Maritime Traffic and Safety Control Center and the 3rd Naval Area are tracking ship activity along the west coast in recent days in an effort to pinpoint the offending vessel(s)... Beaches in the northwestern part of the island including Nai Yang, Mai Khao, Nai Thon and Layan all experienced pollutants being washed ashore in the past few days, with further reports on social media of Patong Beach being impacted late yesterday (Aug 5). It prompted an extensive clean-up operation yesterday across a 10-kilometre span covering Nai Yang, Mai Khao, Nai Thon and Layan Beaches where teams consisting of National Park officials, lifeguards and volunteers pitched in to clear the pollutants and any other debris from the respective beaches. There were also several instances where wildlife had been impacted and rescued by beachgoers who then passed the stricken animals onto officials who meticulously cleaned them and nursed them back to health. A baby turtle and a bird were just two such examples. The clean-ups continued today as authorities maintained a “no-swim” zone order at Nai Yang, Mai Khao, Nai Thon and Layan beaches in order to ensure the safety of swimmers. from the phuket news Edited August 6, 2023 by zzzzz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
